I filled out my husband's DS-230 forms. I fedexed page 2 to him (in Dominica) to sign and send back to me with all the necessary civil documents. There's a question on page 2 that asks " In what occupation do you intend to work in the United States?"

In my opinion, they're just asking for what you think you may do for work in the United States. I gave more than one occupation. I put police officer, firefighter , and WAPA* employee.

*WAPA is the big plant on my island that provides power and public water for the US Virgin Islands and it's located on the island that we will be living on.

When my husband read that I put WAPA employee on the form, he asked me why and said it would look suspicious because he has no experience in the field.

I told him that it was nothing to fret over because you don't have to have experience in the majority in the fields in WAPA.I also said that what I listed were just possibilities. You don't have to commit to any of them.

Who's right here? Did I do something wrong?

it is not a big deal seriously usually consulars doesnt pay attention to this part trust me . so there is nothing to worry about it

These choices are personal. Several of the senior members here including me, strongly advise that the US Citizen fill out ALL the forms possible throughout the process. What is critical is the correct person signs the forms, not who fills them out.

My suggestion for the occupation question is to write "To Be Determined" unless there's an actual job offer on the table.

I agree. I don't know about all of you but when I start the papers for my husband-to-be (will be husband in a week and 2 days :) ) I plan to have everything filled out and sent to him to sign because for 1. he doesn't speak great English (plans to learn once he gets here and we communicate in my/his native language) 2. He doesn't have or know how to use a computer (yes i know weird these days but thats life of a refugee)

Well thanx guys. I really feel the same way you guys feel about it. I think my husband was just freaking out for a bit. I told him that those are just possible jobs. It's nothing that you have to commit to. Besides, I'm the one that filled out the form so of course I'm gonna put some job positions that I know he could get easily in the US Virgin Islands.
